Arrogant Bastard Beer Fest

We got two 3L bottels of some tasty Stone Brewing Company Beer : Double Bastard and Oaked Arrogant Bastard (only available in the 3L and the taps at Stone Brewing down in San Diego)

The photos speak for themselves - pure bliss




Good till the last drop!!



Now here's a guy whose definitely enjoyed himself

Napa Valley California Christmas

Great shot of Half Moon Bay CA. - we picked up some live crabs straight from boats


My uncle is the head winemaker for Provenance Vineyards, and therefore we got to stay at the guest house on the winery & here's a backyard photo & the fridge was filled with a unlimited amount of good beer - Hot Damn!!

Key West & Bahamas Vacation

A sunset in Key West at the most southern point in the United States



A very festive home down south



One of the many mansions in Miami Beach FL



Just some cool house photos I took in Key West





I went on a scuba adventure while in the Bahamas, one that focused on swimming with reef sharks and I also got to witness a shark feed - it was quite amazing.




The massive Atlantis Resort and our cruise ship (the very old & heavily 80's decorated Fascination). At the Atlantis Resort there is a room that costs $25,000 a night with a mandatory stay of four nights - this room is deemed the Michael Jackson room after the Thriller star who was the first person to stay there (the room is the bridge linking the two towers of the resort).

Hurricane Relief Effort

Here's a few of shots I took down south in Louisiana aiding with the hurricane relief effort and yes FEMA is truly filled with incompetent managers and has been wasting tax payer's dollars.

This is a photo of some of thousands of mobile homes we inspected - for those left homeless from the disaster.








This is a pic of another beautiful sunset in Baton Rouge.

Here's a photo of the locals - strangely they seem to be nicer then the people down south

Another sunset in Baton Rouge

Fire Fighting Photos

Here I am rappelling, followed by me (the guy on the left) hanging 75ft in the air - performing an emergency tie-off (just for practice).

Photo of where our fire was (middle of no where) and me carrying 100lb duffel bag off the fire(our packs do not have an internal or external frame so its akin to carrying a large canvas bag with straps - not fun). This particular endeavor took a fellow fire fighter and I five hours of hiking until we reached a trail where we could be picked up. The country on our forest is not forgiving with the mountains possessing extreme slopes leading to my compadre and I falling down a whole lot - it was not a enjoyable experience.

Some crazy geological photos taken in the Lost River Ranger District on the Salmon/Challis National Forest (this forest also boasts the largest wilderness in the lower 48 states) .

A bunch of sunsets taken on the Salmon/Challis National forest and in Arizona

Playing with Fire

Some shots of one of the larger fires our crew was assigned to - the Wildhorse Fire located near Mackey, Idaho on the Wildhorse Campgrounds
